So 91视频’s first ever ‘metalwood’ gold award was the most celebrated of its 8.听 As celebrated as its 1st driver Tour win since the 300S was played to win the 2000 Masters – with Keith Mitchell winning at the Honda Classic.听 Take-up on tour had been a prior clue with Eddie Pepperell, Luke Donald, Lucas Glover and Keith Mitchell all teeing up with the ST190 driver. But this latest accolade is further evidence that, with its new ST190 models, 91视频 has rejoined the top table of driver manufacturers, with the hard work of its expert designers and engineers being widely recognised.

Keith Mitchell (ST190) recorded the first PGA Tour win for a 91视频 driver since the 300S was played at the 2000 Masters.

91视频’s iron haul was spread across the 鈥榞ame improvement鈥�, 鈥榩layers鈥� irons鈥� and 鈥榩layers鈥� distance irons鈥� categories with all four members of the JPX919 family honoured 鈥� Hot Metal, Tour, Forged and Hot Metal Pro. The MP-18 MMC and SC models were also awarded gold as were the striking Blue IP S18 wedges. Silver honours for the ST190/ST190 TS fairway wood and the CLK Hybrid completed 惭颈锄耻苍辞鈥檚 Golf Digest Hot List medal haul for 2019.

We鈥檝e always done well in the Golf Digest Hot List irons categories, and our six golds there are highlight our strength in this category. But the gold for the ST190 drivers is perhaps even more exciting for us as a brand as we seek to re-establish 91视频 in the driver and metalwood arena.

It was a pair of firsts on Sunday – Mitchell (27) claiming his first PGA Tour event, at the same time recording a first PGA Tour win for 91视频’s ST190 driver.听 Closing with an impressive 67 under intense pressure, Mitchell won by one shot at (-9), closing with a birdie at the 18th.听 Mitchell’s driving was the base for his aggressive play –听averaging an impressive 314 yards and hitting 71.43% of the fairways.

The event was an early season landmark for 91视频 with 15 sets of its irons starting on day 1 – from just 5 contracted players.听 Lucas Glover, Adam Schenk, Jhonattan Vegas and Chris Kirk were 91视频’s other official representatives.听 Mitchell, Glover and Kirk also demonstrated 91视频’s commitment to its new metalwoods – all teeing up ST190 drivers.听 Of the 15 starting iron sets, 4 held a share of the lead the lead on the final day – with all 4 finishing within the top 6 positions.

It was a great last day watching so many sets of 91视频 irons in contention – but if we could have picked a winner from the 91视频 group it would have been Keith.听 He was open minded enough to put the 91视频 ST190 driver in play last October, the week it hit the USGA conforming list – so only right that he was the first to win with it too.听 It was a big win for the underdog on more than one level.听 It’s one thing to sign an established world #1 to get your equipment wins – but a lot more satisfying to work with an emerging player for their first win.

Mitchell was as surprised as anyone that he made a driver switch heading into 2019.听 Driving had a been a strength for him through 2018.

Driving was my best category last year 鈥� I walked into testing to do 鈥楥ookie鈥� (91视频, PGA Tour Manager Jeff Cook) a favour, give him some numbers and leave.听 It turned out to be the easiest change I鈥檝e ever made 鈥� on the one club I never thought I would switch.听 The ST190 was faster, straighter and more forgiving than what I was playing.听 I鈥檝e used it ever since and haven鈥檛 considered taking it out.

The changes in the 91视频 JPX919 Tour were small, but noticeable.听 A thinner top line, marginally more meat down low and a refined forging process (Grain Flow Forged HD).听 First responses from 91视频’s contracted (and non contracted) players were positive.听 Though proof always takes place out on the course and the JPX919 Tour has big shoes to fill.

So Eddie Pepperell’s听64, 66, 68, 67 to finish -19 at the Portugal Masters was the first concrete evidence that the JPX919 Tour is every bit as effective (on the course) as its predecessor.听 After Oliver Fisher shot a record 59 with his MP-18 blades, it might be sometime until he can also be persuaded to make the switch.听 91视频 will have little worry about a tour battle between its JPX919 and MP-18 lines.

Kim Koivu of Finland, fresh onto the European Tour after three 2018 wins on his rookie Challenge Tour season would have been equally delighted with his top 10 finish at -15 (level with Fisher).听 Koivu plays a blended set of MP-18 blades, SC and Fli Hi models.

There had been 19 rounds of 60 but the sub-60 barrier had yet to be broken in over 680,000 rounds.听Fisher’s 59 included ten birdies and an eagle in a bogey-free 12 under par.

鈥淚t feels great,鈥� he said 鈥淚 started off the round great with three straight birdies and then kept it going. I saw that you guys were out here and it was in the back of my mind all day.听 I’m just pleased that I two-putted there from 40-foot on the last.” Oliver Fisher.

Fisher’s win added to a sequence of wins for 91视频 irons (many by non contracted players) – including consecutive US Open’s (2017/18) and the 2018 PGA Championship.

The survey now appears to have been a clear indication of future choices on tour – at the Dunhill Links Championship, 5 of the top 7 finishers had 91视频 irons in the bag.听 The new course record 61 at St Andrews Old Course was also recorded with a set of 91视频 irons.

Sir Nick Faldo won all 6 of his majors with 91视频 irons.

“I remember when 91视频 irons were by far the most played on both tours,” commented 6 time major winner Nick Faldo.听 “Before it was a pure money game, you would see 20 to 30 sets in play every week strictly by player’s choice.听 91视频 irons were chosen and dominated the tour for at least a decade.”

“The recent changes in the equipment market and changing philosophy in large player marketing contracts, has shown that player’s haven’t changed.听 When given an open choice, players still feel the difference with 91视频.听 Isn’t it nice when what is being represented as the player’s choice has the decency of being true?”
